Concatenating With A Case
Apr 21, 2005
I have a table with 1-4 20 character description fields which need to be concatenated into one value. The data is stored like below
patientid allergy1 allergy2 allergy3 allergy4
100
200 tylenol
300 tylenol bees
The way the data is stored there would never be a allergy3
with an allergy2 being null (the blanks are nulls)
I tried below but it doesn't like the case and concatenation. ANy better ideas
select patientid,allergy_cmt1 +
allergy_cmt2 =
case
when allergy_cmt2 = null then null
else allergy_cmt2 + ','
end

Hello. I'm trying to reduce some code in my stored procedure and I'm running into lots of errors. I'm somewhat of a novice with SQL and stored procedures so any help would be beneficial.
I have a SP that gets a page of user data and is also called when sorting by one of the columns (this data is placed in a repeater, btw). I quickly learned that I wasn't able to pass in string parameters the way I had hoped in order to handle the ORDER BY and direction (ASC/DESC) so I'm trying to work around this.
So far I've tried the following with many errors.WITH Users AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY CASE WHEN @OrderBy='FirstName' AND @Direction='DESC' THEN (FirstName + ' DESC')
WHEN @OrderBy='FirstName' THEN FirstName
WHEN @OrderBy='LastName' AND @Direction='DESC' THEN (LastName + ' DESC')
WHEN @OrderBy='LastName' THEN LastName
END
) AS Row,
UserID, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, [Role], Active, LastLogin, DateModified, ModifiedBy, ModifiedByName
FROM
vRF_Users
)
SELECT UserID, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, [Role], Active, LastLogin, DateModified, ModifiedBy, ModifiedByName
FROM Users
WHERE Row BETWEEN @StartRowIndex AND @EndRowIndex
I've tried a combination of similar things with parenthesises, without, doing "THEN FirstName DESC" without concatenating anything, etc.
I also tried: DECLARE @OrderByDirection varchar(32)
DECLARE @DESC varchar(4)
SET @DESC = ' DESC'
IF @Direction = 'DESC'
BEGIN
SET @OrderByDirection = (@OrderBy + @DESC)
END
And then writing my case statemet like this:ORDER BY CASE WHEN @Direction='DESC' THEN @OrderByDirection
ELSE @OrderBy
ENDObviously this didn't work either. Is there any way to gracefully accomplish this or do I just have to use a bunch of if/else statements and lots of redundant code to evaluate all my @OrderBy and @Direction parameters???
Thanks in advance,
Jen

I am using SQL server 2000 and trying to do a concatenation of firstname,middle-initial and lastname.
SELECT first_name+('mid_ini'= casewhen middle_init is null then ''when middle_init ='' then ''else middle_initend)+nsl_last_nameFROM tbl_names
How is it possible to use the CASE condition along with concatenating the fields. Is this possible?
I would like my result to be "Bob J Sam".
and if there is no middle initial it should be blank or when its null it should be blank.
I know you can separate and get the results with the CASE statement,but is this feasible when you want to concatenate?
Thank you

I have two columns of type integer that I want to concatenate. I also want to put a "/ " in between the columns.
I have tried doing it in the same way as I would for varchar columns but that doesn't seem to work for integers.

I have a web application that has SQL7 as the back end. SQLServer and ORACLE have a feature that allows sql commands to be combined in one statement. Another words I am able to to
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id = 2 DROP TABLE other_table
If I type this in a query analyzer It will perform both commands. Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off.
The main reason I want to turn it off is so if a numerical value is sent as a url variable someone can't add the drop table statement or any other sql command to the value of the url variable and have it executed. We have added ample code to trap for this problem but I would like to also handle it at the database level.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Guys,
I am converting Access queries to SQL. One query has a string of IIF statements that can concatenate several strings into one field. For instance:
IIf([Hot Dogs]=-1,"* Wants a Hot Dog ","") &
IIf([Hamburger]=-1,"*Wants a Hamburger ","") &
IIf([mustard]=-1,"*add mustard ","") &
IIf([fries]=-1,"*Include Fries ","") &
IIf([Chips]=-1,"*Include Chips ","")
Consequently the output could be:
*Hamburger *add mustard *Include Chips
I know I can use the ‘Case When Then’ statement but how do I concatenate?
Thanx

Hi Guys, I am converting Access SQL to SQL Server and I have two problems:
First of all I can’t get the city, state and zip to concatenate. It will not take the "As Location" and it will not allow me to concatenate the fields in the Group By area.
Second I ‘m trying to replace a First() function with a Top() function but I’m not having much success. If it is not the first statement I get an error (Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'TOP'.)
Any ideas how I can accomplish what it is I want to do?

I find myself between rock and hard place.
My requirement is to simply output a flat file from an OLE DB source containing three types of records.
The output records should look something like this:
Type 1 contains field1, field2, field3
Type 2 contains field1, field3, field6
Type3 contains field1, field4, field5
The source table contains all six fields.
If I simply map the input to output columns, I get all fields output in each record, which is not what I want.
So I run the source through a derived column transformation, inspecting the record type field and creating a new column containing the relevant fields concatenated together, e.g field1 + field 2 + field3 for the Type 1 record.
The problem is that the fields are now all scrunched together, i.e all the trailing spaces are being stripped out of each field during concatenation.
Is there any way to string these fields together while maintaining the original field length?
I'd like the output to look like
ABC FGH XYZ instead of
ABCFGHXYZ

I'm looking for ideas / options for concatenating several fields into one based on a sequence number. The sequence could go as high as 90 but I'm only interested in concatenating the first 3 sequences. I'd like to compare when seq is the same as the id, it's concatenated and placed in a virtual column.
Example:
table x:
column:attritbute
id:123
fname:xyz
lname:zmith
seq:1
address: 123 something
id:123
fname:abc
lname:zmith
address: 123 something
seq:2
Query:
select *
from x
where id = 123
would return 2 records:
ID | Concat | address | fname | lname
123 | abc / xyz | 123 something | xyz | zmith
...
I would like it to return:
ID Concat address
123 | abc / xyz | 123 something ....
Thanks!

I'm wanting to concatenate something that doesnt exist to an already existing field.
What I need to do is add a generic email address to every record in a data view So, what it would do is take the column that does exist and add @domain.com to another column that I would call username So rather than it just appearing as 911234 it would be a derived column saying 911234@domain.com
i've tried using +''+ but I get a space after the number.

Hi All,
I am trying to get at some text fields from an AS400(JBA) system. the problem i'm having is that for each new line of text on AS400 it creates a new row with a line number associated in the SQL table. When trying to export to excel this causes problems because i need the text in one cell not spread over 15/20 lines.
I need to create a query/function that will concatenate the text lines together. I'm fairly new to T-SQL so could do with some help.
Example:-
ID TxtLn Text
R262965
1
Text 1
R262965
2
Text 2
R262965
3
Text 3
What i'm aiming for is:-
ID ConcatText
R262965 Text1 Text2 Text3
Can anyone please help me or guide me towards a starting point.
Thanks

Friends,
I am attempting to concatenate two numeric type fields together with character data and the query is adding them together. I am assuming I need to convert the ints to a string type but would appreciate some info on the best way to do this...I am sure it's something simple but am not finding much on the web about it.
SELECT vehFacID + '-' + vehID AS vehNew FROM Vehicles
Returns the sum of vehFacID & vehID. Doh!

Jan 6, 2005
Hello:
I have created an SQL server table in the past on a server that was all case sensative. Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Any suggestions?

I have a SQL query that returns several fields from several tables, eg. Title, Subtitle, Author, Binding and Imprint. When these are returned everything seems rosy until there are two authors linked to one title. When this happens Title, Subtitle, Binding and Imprint are repeated which is not required. Is there a way to concatenate the authors from multple records to return a single title with the concatenated authors, instead of repeating titles due to multiple authors?.
Example:
A query may currently return:
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1a - etc
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1b - etc
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1c - etc
Title2 - Subtitle2 - Author 2a - etc
Title3 - Subtitle3 - Author 3a - etc
When I would like
Title1 - Subtitle1 - Author 1a, Author 1b, Author 1c - etc
Title2 - Subtitle2 - Author 2a - etc
Title3 - Subtitle3 - Author 3a - etc
My actual SQL code, if you are interested, is:
SELECT dbo.edition.ISBN, dbo.edition.title, dbo.party.first_name+' '+dbo.party.surname as name, dbo.edition.reviews, dbo.edition.long_blurb, dbo.series.series_id, dbo.series.series_number,
dbo.series.series_title, dbo.edition.sub_title, dbo.edition.about_author, dbo.edition.short_blurb,
dbo.series.editors_affiliations, dbo.title.contents, dbo.title.affiliations, dbo.series.series_editors
FROM dbo.edition INNER JOIN
dbo.series ON dbo.edition.series_id = dbo.series.series_id INNER JOIN
dbo.title ON dbo.edition.title_id = dbo.title.title_id INNER JOIN
dbo.agreement ON dbo.edition.edition_id = dbo.agreement.edition_id INNER JOIN
dbo.role ON dbo.agreement.role_id = dbo.role.role_id INNER JOIN

Hi,
I need to concatenate a field from certain number of rows. I created a function to return the concatenated value which will be a part of another view/procedure to be used for reporting purposes.
Here's sample data:
iIncidentID iWorkNoteID iseqNum workNoteAll
1 1 1 notes1(1275 chars)
2 1 1 notes2(1275 chars)
2 1 2 notes3(1275 chars)
3 1 1 notes4(1275 chars)
3 1 2 notes5(1275 chars)
3 1 3 notes6(1275 chars)
Final output
iIncidentID workNoteALL
1 notes1(1275 chars)
2 notes2 notes3
3 notes4 notes5 notes6
final woorkNoteAll will be a part of a query in another view which contains many other fields.
Here's the function. I'm passing an ID and based on that ID, the function returns a string. However, when I tested the function it's giving me a null.
/*
--Calling syntax:: Select dbo.getIncidentNotes(187714) as 'Notes'
--Function to get all the latest notes for an incident
*/
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.getIncidentNotes(@iIncidentID int)
RETURNS varchar(8000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @allnotes varchar(8000)
DECLARE @seqnotes varchar(255)
DECLARE @seqnum int
DECLARE @counter int
SELECT @counter=1
SELECT @seqnum = max(iseqnum) from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID
WHILE (@COUNTER <=@seqnum)
BEGIN
SELECT @seqnotes = workNoteALL from dbo.frs_weekly_prospect_status2 where iIncidentId=@iIncidentID and iSeqNum=@counter
SELECT @allnotes = @allnotes + @seqnotes
SELECT @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1
END --While Begin
RETURN @allnotes
END
Can someone please tell me what's wrong with the code?
I really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Quick question. What I'm trying to do is concatenate a field for multiple records (hope that is worded in an understandable manner). Here's an example:
ID.....Code
5......33
5......23
ID.....Code...Result
5......33.....33 23
5......23.....33 23
I need the code to get the Result field. I know the code if you were to find the sum, min, max, etc...
(SELECT SUM(CODE)
FROM Table
WHERE ID = Table.ID) AS Result
But I don't know how to write it so it will combine strings.
